00:00 Roaches aren't a sanitation problem.

00:02 They're a building problem.

00:03 Every August, I was throwing out pantry shelves

00:06 and apologizing to my book club for postponing again.

00:10 Then every June, the first one was back

00:12 on the kitchen counter.

00:13 Every spray, every gel, every glue trap, $300 a summer.

00:18 Read every label, bleached every counter.

00:20 Same result every June.

00:22 I'm 66 and I've kept this house spotless for 32 years.

00:26 The problem wasn't me, it was structural.

00:28 Roaches live inside your walls, your outlets,

00:32 the motor housing of your dishwasher.

00:33 The ones on the counter are the bold ones.

00:36 Hundreds breed behind every appliance.

00:38 Pest lab, once you plug it in,

00:40 it sends signals through the structure of your home

00:43 into wall cavities, outlet boxes, behind the appliances.

00:46 For roaches specifically,

00:48 it destroys the eggs before they hatch.

00:50 You're ending the breeding cycle, not just chasing adults.

00:54 Five plug-ins, one per room, 72 hours.

00:57 Nothing on the counter at night.

00:58 Six summers, I thought it was my fault.

00:60 Wrong in a week.

00:61 Book club met here this August

00:63 and I served dessert without thinking once.

00:66 Six summers gone.
